National Navigation Award Scheme

Welcome to the NNAS

The National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) is a personal performance, non-competitive, incentive scheme for all ages to learn navigation skills and gain confidence to get out and enjoy the countryside.

NNAS courses are delivered throughout the country by over 500 providers.
